INDYCAR drivers compete on a variety of tracks and move from the relatively short Iowa oval to the final street course of the year this weekend as they head to Toronto.

Here’s a look at these rankings heading into Toronto:

Dropped out: Colton Herta (Last Week: 7); Rinus VeeKay (Last Week: 10)

On the verge: Colton Herta, Scott McLaughlin, Will Power

10. Santino Ferrucci (Last Week: 9)

Ferrucci had an eighth and a 15th at Iowa, which amounts to an OK weekend for the A.J. Foyt Racing driver. The big thing is that he and Conor Daly battled without drama, as Daly edged him by a spot in the first race and Ferrucci returned the favor in the second.

9. David Malukas (Last Week: Not Ranked)

Malukas had a 12th and a fourth in the two Iowa races, a strong bounce back after one top 10 in three of the four races heading into Iowa. This teammate of Ferrucci looked especially strong in the second race at Iowa.
